Chapter 314 The Most Powerless Resistance
Aunt Wu made sour plum soup for everyone and even took ice cubes from the ice cellar. It was icy and delicious.
Lian Songsongruanruan has a portion, but theirs is pure sour plum soup without added sugar.
Even so, they are very happy.
Although Si Ning wanted to drink a few more bowls, he also knew that it was not appropriate for him to drink too much cold water now, so he drank one bowl and put it down.
The two children could only drink one bowl.
The sour plum soup received unanimous praise from everyone, and after discussion, it was decided to sell it in the milk tea shop.
As for the cherry jam, they decided to try it with their bread tomorrow morning.
At night, after the two children fell asleep, Sima Ming called Doctor Huai, Weng Jin and Liu Cheng'an to his home.
Liu Cheng'an didn't know why he was called in the middle of the night. After he arrived, the housekeeper took him directly to the small living room.
As soon as he entered, he saw that in addition to the people from the Si family, there were also Doctor Huai and Weng Jin. He greeted everyone and sat down on the sofa nearby.
Si Ming saw that everyone had arrived before he spoke: "Let me first tell you what happened after I left Beiyang City."
Miao Jiu handed him a few pieces of paper: "The title deed to the shoe and hat factory, the clothing factory should be ready soon."
"You're really quick." Si Ming took the paper, looked at it, and laughed.
He looked at Si Tian and Liu Cheng'an: "Who is in charge of this shoe and hat factory?"
"Give it to Mr. Liu Er. It just so happens that the textile factory, the shoe and hat factory, and the clothing factory that will be built in a few days are all given to him. We can provide one-stop service." Si Tian pointed at Liu Cheng'an without hesitation.
Liu Cheng'an looked at them in confusion. He had just sat down and had no idea what was going on. How come he suddenly had to take care of two more factories?
"What's going on?"
Si Tian handed him a few sheets of paper and said, "The shoe and hat factory wants to make some military shoes. I'll give you the drawings when the time comes."
"Ah?" Liu Cheng'an looked at the paper stuffed in his hand and became even more confused.
"No. What blueprints, what military shoes, did I miss something?" He looked at the people present.
"This is the blueprint for the shoe. This part is the reverse side of the leather, and this part is the canvas. I'll have someone send the soles to you tomorrow."
Si Tian took out a blueprint and stuffed it into his hand. While he looked puzzled, he explained the materials to him.
Liu Cheng'an hurriedly lowered his head to look at the blueprint in his hand. The more he looked, the tighter his brows frowned. He had never seen these shoes before. How was he going to make them?
Besides, he has never been exposed to this before. This is a trap, and it requires him to stay up late and work overtime.
"I've never made shoes!" He made the most feeble protest.
"Who among us do you think has done this?" Si Tian looked at him with a smile.
Liu Chengan looked up and glanced around. "Okay! Sorry to bother you."
He stopped talking and started looking at the blueprint to think about how to assemble it and make it wearable.
Since they are military shoes, they must be comfortable.
I saw a line of words written next to the drawing: comfortable, waterproof, wear-resistant...
Now he is overwhelmed with so many requirements. Is this a pair of shoes?
Miao Jiu talked about other things: "Those rats in the Northern Government tried to place explosives in some places to cause panic in the city, but I dealt with them."
"There's no useful information from them, but there's one piece of information that might interest you."
Siming raised an eyebrow: "Jing Xiuxiu's?"
"Smart. Jing Xiuxiu tried to escape on the day she returned, but that night she was sent to the bed of the Taisho Empire consul. The next day, the cleaners said she was dead."
Miao Jiu would never sympathize with such a woman.
"The Taisho Empire didn't ask for compensation?" Siming didn't think the Taisho Empire was so easy to talk to.
"I paid compensation. I think it was 10,000 yuan. The other party only agreed to it because Pei Jingming acted as a peacemaker." After saying this, Miao Jiu looked at him.
"He is quite amazing. He was originally marginalized, but this incident made him turn things around." Siming snorted coldly.
"It's more than just a comeback. I heard from those people that he is now in a high position. The Taisho Empire is willing to provide a batch of arms to the Northern Government, but this business will only be done with Pei Jingming."
After saying this, Miao Jiu looked at Siming meaningfully.
Sima Ming narrowed his eyes, looked at Miao Jiu and guessed another possibility.
However, the two did not intend to continue the conversation.
"Doctor Huai, Weng Jin, I called you here this time because I wanted to ask you if you can train a group of people to study medicine." Siming changed the subject.
"General, do you want to understand all the medical knowledge?" Doctor Huai frowned.
"Some of them are definitely needed, but some are not. They are simple, or they can just be bandaged." Siming didn't expect everyone to be like the two of them.
Doctor Huai looked at Siming and said, "If you want to learn all the medical knowledge, it will take you several years unless you are as talented as Baiqiao."
"Dr. Huai and I have the same idea. It would be easier if I could bandage, treat wounds, and give injections like a nurse."
"But if you want to be able to deal with other more troublesome injuries, it will take at least three to five years to recover." Weng Jin expressed his thoughts.
"I know, so I hope you can seize the time to train them now. The more people like this, the better." Siming looked at the two of them.
Doctor Huai thought for a moment and said, "If we want to recruit people to study medicine, it's best to start from a young age. Children have good memories and are easy to learn."
"Is it the same on your side?" Siming looked at Weng Jin and asked.
"It's best to have a child. When he grows up, his mind will not be pure anymore and he may not be able to be of any use to you in the future." Weng Jin saw it very clearly.
"According to you, it would be best if the child has no family ties." Miao Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them.
"If the Governor and the Ninth Master want to use these people in some unknown place, it would be best to do so." Weng Jin looked at the two of them without pointing it out.
"It's not difficult to find such a child, but besides that, does he have to be able to read and write?" Si Tian looked at several people.
"That's for sure. They can learn and teach at the same time, but we may not be able to teach them literacy. After all, we have other things to do." Doctor Huai made some of his concerns clear.
Siming knew that they also had things to do with the medicine fields, workshops, clinics and hospitals, and could not spend all their time teaching these children.
Being able to spare half a day every day is already their limit, so the academic subjects of all the children become a problem.
"Don't worry about literacy. I'll let you know once I find suitable children. You should set aside at least half a day every day to teach these children medical knowledge."
"Okay, we can separate them. Today we can study Chinese medicine, and tomorrow we can study Western medicine. After they've studied for a while, we can see which children are suitable for Western medicine and which are suitable for Chinese medicine."
"When the time comes, Doctor Huai and I will teach separately, which will be more effective." Weng Jin gave his suggestion.
"Just do as you say. I'll notify you after I've made the arrangements." Si Ming finished talking about the most important things at the moment.
